Air traffic and contrail changes over Europe during COVID-19: a model study

Air traffic and contrail changes over Europe during COVID-19: a model study

<p>The strong reduction of air traffic during the COVID-19 pandemic provides a unique test case for the relationship between air traffic density, contrails, and their radiative forcing of climate change. Here, air traffic and contrail cirrus changes are quantified for a European domain for Mar...
